In 1993 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    Every time you visit Disney World,there's something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high­tech,movie­mad Disney and Animal Kingdom. Each time the park expands,so do your chances to spend money. How can you save?As a family guide to Disney World,I've been to the park more than 25 times with my kids,and I've developed a few money­saving plans.

    ____Even if you're visiting for fewer days,it's a deal(the pass costs$229 for visitors ages 10 and up,$183 for kids ages three to nine and is free for kids under age three).Without the pass,you'll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks. A single trip to Blizzard Beach,for example,would cost a family of four $100.

    ____The prices at some of the nicer restaurants,especially those in Epcot's World Showcase,are much lower at noontime than at dinner. It's wise to make reservations before you leave home. Call 407­W­DISNEY.

    ____F or $65,you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card(call 1­800­56­DISNEY).Card­holders get up to 20 percent off Disney hotel rooms,plus price breaks on character breakfasts,theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores.

    ____Character­theme dinner shows are expensive,costing a family of four about $140,and even a character breakfast,where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes,can set you back $50.If your budget is tight,try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in­park shows. You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show,for example,in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost,while the similarly themed Hoop­Dee­Doo Musical Revue requires expensive tickets.

    ____By then,the kids will really know what they want,and you won't waste money on expensive things.

A.Members can get lots of benefits.

B.Dine out at lunch.

C.Become a Gold Card Member.

D.Don't pay extra to see a character.
